History
The Chichesters were a gang from the Five Points of New York City's Manhattan borough, made up of Irish-Americans. They stole from stores and warehouses in the 1820s, later becoming involved in illegal gambling and more robbery. With up to 100 members, the Chichesters lasted for 50 years and allied with the Dead Rabbits against the Bowery Boys and other native gangs.
